Questions & AnswersOn behalf of expertvillage.com my name is Ray Boone and I run the Ray Boone Golf Academy at the beautiful Miami Beach Golf Club. Today I'd like to present to you the topic of the over the top golf swing. Okay, we've got the club coming from inside now, we need to get you to relax your body, relax your arms, get the tension out. What we want to do is really have soft arms. I'm going to show you a little drill, I have a shaft in my hand, but you can take your golf club and turn it upside down and do the same drill. What we do is just practice swinging back to the top and then try to initiate on the down swings and create that whip with the golf club. We want club head speed, this is not about mechanics of the golf swing. Mechanics are important, but then we have to blend it into a nice flowing motion. We don't want to be stiff and rigid and tight as we swing. We have to be relaxed and loosen up and let all these good mechanics that we've worked on flow naturally and again in good rhythm. So we want to relax the body and go ahead and whip the shaft through the shot.
